Tastes of the Nile
Great Food - Egyptian Style
I have been cooking delicious Egyptian Style food in and around London for many years. I am not Egyptian but married to an Egyptian and love the country, the culture, the people and most of all the food. My food is a reflection of the melting pot that is Egypt: a harmonious mix of cultures, traditions, influences and ingredients from around the world.
I have tried to create some very authentic dishes that will taste as they would in Egypt. I have adapted some recipies to reflect current trends in the UK and have some not Egyptian but very tasty things that are partucular favourites of mine.
At every stage, I take extreme care in what I am doing and am very proud of every single plate of food that I serve. I hope that you will take the opportunity to visit me in my little shop (not quiet a restaurant, not really a café) just a lovely place to pass the time where you can sit and enjoy a bite to eat, play a game of backgammon or just have a coffee and a chat. I look forward to your visit

We don't really have a lunchtime menu: I cook something fresh every day so just choose either a veggie plate or a non-veggie plate and enjoy
Whatevery you fancy, you will always find something to satisfy your hunger. We always have a rice or cous cous dish, some tasty pulses, some cooked veggies and lots and lots of tasty salads, sauces and of course, our delicious falafel. Vegans and Vegetarians thrive here!!
We are by no means exclusively vegetarian, there are chicken, meat and fish dishes prepared daily.
You are welcome to pop in and eat here, pick up a take away, or if you can order in advance, we could deliver your dinner hot ready to eat or chilled ready to store .

I can cook anything so if you fancy something special, give me a ring and a bit of notice and I'll be delighted to cook you whatever you like:
You could be planning a family night in with some comfort food like a cottage pie or a curry, or a delicous lasagne with a fresh, crunchy salad; a day's notice and it's yours.
You might like to plan ahead and organize dinners for the week. I can help you with menu planning and drop off your boxes for you.
Do you need salad boxes for a working lunch? no problem.
Do you have an elderly parent to cater for? I have lots of easy to digest, nutritious meals designed for elderly parents who have become difficult to satisfy.
